Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915) was the founder of Roycroft, an Arts and Crafts community in East Aurora, New York, 1885. The organization called itself either \u0093The Roycrofters\u0094 or \u0093The Roycroft Shops,\u0094 and they printed, not only magazines, but also handsome, sometimes eccentric, books printed on handmade paper and bound finely. The group also operated a furniture shop, and a shop dedicated to producing modeled leather and hammered copper goods. The Roycroft Shops became a site for meetings and conventions of radicals, freethinkers, reformers, and suffragists. Hubbard, himself, became a popular lecturer at these meetings, and championed for socialist governments and free thinking. RAREA1904ABCA - 12\/19 RAREA1904RBCA - 08\/25 - HKREV1188.
